Title: Amused to Death
Post by: KevShmev on July 18, 2010, 11:40:40 PM: So good. Not only the one true shining moment of Roger Waters' solo career, but one of the best and most chilling rock CDs ever.

Feel to appreciate this magnificent record. :hat

If you are a Pink Floyd fan, absolutely.

Post by: PixelDream on July 19, 2010, 04:26:32 PM: 'What God Wants' is okay, and I acknowledge the obvious genius that is presented on this album. That said, I can't stand it at all. All the 3D audio effects and samples get on my nerves, and I hate how loud he mixed his own vocals. I'm going to give the album a few more chances though, because I still can't understand why I wouldn't like anything Pink Floyd related.

Post by: KevShmev on July 19, 2010, 04:28:59 PM: Hmmm, I have never thought of his vocals being mixed too loud or anything like that. The effects don't bother me, although it would be a killer nap or falling asleep CD, if not for the brief bits of ringing telephones and explosions. :lol

The back to back of "Perfect Sense" and "The Bravery of Being out of Range" is just too awesome.

Pure Genius.

I would pay big money to hear the whole thing done live (like that would ever happen).

There are days that I wake up and think it's the best thing he's ever been a part of.

But I've never been a Pink Floyd/Waters fan so I left it alone. I've come pretty close in my old age of picking it up a few times, but just haven't pulled the trigger.
